<strong>Glitch</strong> <strong>Aesthetics</strong><br />

4. <strong>Glitch</strong> at large.<br />

As well as looking critically at how the glitch is being ‘discussed’ in open forums,<br />

this chapter tries to provide more insight into the motivations of a number of<br />

<strong>Glitch</strong> artists, in a series of short profiles.<br />

4.1. Formal Discussion<br />

Art of the Accident<br />

In November 1998 a Dutch electronic arts festival (DEAF) produced a book called<br />

‘the art of the accident’ which not only catalogued the works presented at the<br />

festival, but also included essays and interviews by the festival participants and<br />

distinguished experts in the fields of architecture, music composition, science, and<br />

biology. 36 Although not specifically dealing with <strong>Glitch</strong> aesthetics, ‘art of the<br />

accident’ highlighted a wide-ranging approach, to the artistic and creative<br />

possibilities of accidents. This event was possibly a precursor to the first glitch<br />

Symposium in Oslo.<br />
